			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I feel like Steve Martin in the movie, The Jerk.  No, I&#8217;m not feeling <em>like</em> a jerk.  Remember the scene when the new phone book arrives?  The mere fact of seeing his name in print brings out a joyous rant: &#8212; &#8220;<em>The new phone book&#8217;s here!  The new phone book&#8217;s here!  I&#8217;m SOMEBODY!&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Something is here that is SO much better than the phone book!</p>
<p>The new Kirtsy book&#8217;s here! <a href="http://www.brightskypress.com/infostore/ca.cart.asp?sAction=DisplayDetails&amp;pid=129"> The new Kirtsy book&#8217;s here!</a></p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="340" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ajLSmCduXk4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="340" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ajLSmCduXk4&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Obviously, I have a little more self-confidence than Steve Martin&#8217;s character, so I already know I&#8217;m somebody.  But I&#8217;m too, too excited to be one of over<a href="http://kirtsybook.com/?page_id=20"> 100 fabulous women</a> to have their inspirational writing included in this book.  The video points out <a href="http://www.punditmom.com/2006/09/more-women-please">one of the things</a> I often <a href="http://www.punditmom.com/2008/03/pardon-me-i-apparently-forgot-im-dumb-and-fickle">lament about </a>&#8211; the small numbers of women&#8217;s voices represented in the &#8220;mainstream.&#8221;</p>
<p>Guess what, boys, we&#8217;re creating our own mainstream.  And this is just the start.   Welcome to our brave new world of women having a say.   Don&#8217;t worry, though.  We&#8217;ll be a lot nicer to you than you&#8217;ve been to us.</p>
<p>Want to get a copy of this beautiful book that includes a version of my essay about how we&#8217;ll ever find another &#8220;viable&#8221; woman presidential candidate, just take a hope on over to <a href="http://www.brightskypress.com/infostore/ca.cart.asp?sAction=DisplayDetails&amp;pid=129">Bright Sky Press</a> (the amazing publisher that will be doing my Mothers of Intention book), <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_2_4?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=kirtsy+takes+a+bow&amp;sprefix=kirt">Barnes &amp; Noble</a> or <a href="http://www.borders.com/online/store/TitleDetail?sku=1933979054">Borders</a>.  Or, if you&#8217;d like to buy a copy directly from me, we can do that if you&#8217;ve got a PayPal account!  Just contact my by Email and we can arrange that!</p>
<p>I guess I&#8217;d better go get a Sharpie in case anyone wants me to sign my essay!  <img src='http://www.punditmom.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
